Well I've gone and done it now for better or worse.

You have nothing to worry about. :)

Windows Updates - Remove Outdated Updates in Windows 7

To enable you to roll back to previous updates, updates are stored in the WinSxS store even after they are superseded by later updates. Therefore, after you run the Disk Cleanup wizard, you may be unable to roll back to a superseded update. If you want to roll back to a superseded update that the Disk Cleanup wizard deletes, you can manually install the update.

Here is a little trick I do every now and again.

Start Orb.
Using the Search go through the alphabet one letter at a time.
Look for things you don't want on your computer any more.
You will be surprised of the things you find.
